Monster of all monster updates!! Part 1

We're are in need of a major update, so I'll just post a bunch of random pics and get to it soon... I hope!!! Enjoy!Not in any order, these events happened in October. Punky Boy FINALLY got a bike! Both he and lil' C were thrilled, him b/c he got the bike he's waited over a year to get, her b/c she got his old trike!!
Sorry, tilt your head!
So there's this FREE children's outdoor theatre that shows a show at least once a week, usually twice! They were showing Alice in Wonderland so we skipped school on a Friday and went to the theatre!! FUN! This is Jace's BEST little friend and his fam, who we met over the summer, and also we go to church together and the boys have team teachers at school! So great!
JACE CAN READ!!!!! He earns Daddy Dollars to spend in the Mommy-Mart when he reads to Campbell! Camper earns dd's when she sits through a book!
Carving punkins for FHE before Halloween. They were rotten after 2 days sitting on the counter so we put them outside and then tossed them the next night when they were completely black and furry on the inside. We had no punkins for Halloween... next year we'll learn to wait till the night before like everyone else! It's so darn humid here!
Playing in the backyard on Halloween morning. Still so nice outside!!!
Jace had a school Boo Blast/Fundraiser. It was so much fun! All the kids were dressed up, There was a rock climbing wall Jace got to do for free!
Completed Costumes! We ended up going to party city and having the boypunk just pick the first one he liked, then we bought it and took it out of the packaging so he couldn't change his mind... next year we'll do the same thing, only sooner than later!
E. Frakes (next to Cameron) served in our area for a few weeks. We stayed at his house in Wyoming when we were first married and got snowed in on the roads one Christmas. His Dad changed Cameron's diapers when he was little!!! FUN! He got transfered as soon as he got here so we only spent a little time with him...
Another one of the free shows at the theatre. This was TapKids. They perform on broadway, they're all in HS, and the kids really loved it!





These last pics came in a little wonky... Poor Gepetto finally kicked the bucket. We really thought he'd live forever, but alas, he died over Halloween. He survived two bowls breaking on him, never had clean water to swim in, hardly ever got fed, was left for weeks at a time in a cold house while we were out of town, and somehow he survived! We loved him as much as you can love a fish. The kids were pretty sad until we got a new fish! (Beta fish really do last f.o.r.e.v.e.r.) our new fish, pictured at the top is named Mr. Stinky Pants (MSP for short) I'll get around to November in a little bit!
